I feel like the real deal at this time is for their kenovo sl comp, for $200 more you get a full carbol frame which honestly has enough power for anything ( unless you ride with buddies on full fat ebikes that use turbo / boost mode mostly ), while still being light enough to pedal up hill with the motor off ( as low as 39lb I believe ).

I own 4 bikes, a full fat ( santa Cruz : bullit ), 2 regular bikes ( 2019 evil : offering , 2021 specialized : enduro ) and my SL ebike ( Kenovo SL ), I honestly feel like SL's ( "super light ebikes ) are the sweet spot at the moment , I find myself never riding my full fat and only riding my regular bikes when everyone I am riding with is on regular bikes. My SL weighs only 4lb more than my spesh enduro ( they are practically the same bike, one just has a motor and the other doesnt ).
If you can wait, I'd wait. The SL Bikes are becoming more powerful whilst still being substantially lighter then full fats. Is the extra power needed? No, not really, but Bosch just announced their new SL motor / battery which looks great!
These are just my 2 cents, and what I've found from owning many bikes.
edited : to fix the actual price difference between kenevo / kenevo sl.
Keep it coming.

And to much more expensive cars.
Cycling is a luxury sport and plagued by diminishing returns per $ invested, but as you identify, it is far from the last money pit around us.
I know more than a handful of ppl with $300+ gym memberships (edit: a month) that net them BS results...if you burn your money on those vs buying a Kenevo every 2y, is one and the same for me (or better, cause you can fire sell the kenevo and recoup at least a % of your donation).
Again, once you climb up the ladder of $ brackets (say: "Walmart" < $500 < $1000 < $2,500 < $5,000 < $10,000) it becomes an exponentially more niche market, that has very few people actually pulling the trigger, but from what I've been hearing, due to pandemic shortages from which we only partially recovered now, it was the high-end (aka expensive even for those already bitten by the bug) bikes that were OOS everywhere - perhaps because it is high-end components that there would be the least availability for but also companies would have the hardest time to ramp up production for - even if they wanted to.
Even for Tour events last year, companies would compromise and get "lesser than" due to shortages (we need to realize that some of the teams have more top-end bikes for that year or even one event than individual EU countries will sell to individuals).

Novel ideal, I know, but riding a bicycle/MTBs is not something for people who cannot afford motos, and even the eMTB experience is completely different than that of a dirt-bike or moto in general?
Or should I reverse the argument based on your own words, that perhaps it is "the poors/proletariats" that think buying cheap dirt bikes, and the bourgeois that buy them "gold plated" bicycles?
Or cheaper boats, or cars, or RC "anything", or PC gaming, or handbags & watches or w/e is your "hobby" you can sink $ into to have some fun and - for some mainly - stroke your ego and try to impress your friends.
YMMV
Oh, and so that I don't forget, you are comparing a mass produced, bottom of the barrel moto (e.g. fork on the CRF300 is what? $200?) with a mid/top shelf MTB with a $1300+ fork.
Don't take offense, I am not gatekeeping or calling you a "peasant" (was joking about MTBs being for the bourgeois above...or was ? :p ), but once you start looking into dirt bikes with >$1300 forks and hand build this and that (.e.g more in-line with the top-shelf eMTB you "think" you know about), i.e. race dirt bikes, you will be in the fat 5 figures...and people who run those, look at econobike commuters like the KLX300/CRF300 and say, sorry, no, not what I'm looking for. And true top-shelf dirt bikes that run in nationals and world cups - comparable to $10K-15K "factory race bikes" - are over $100K.

Everyone I know who has bought an "SL" electric bike from Specialized has sold it at a substantial loss and bought a full-power ebike instead.
The "SL" bikes weigh less than a full-power ebike because they have a smaller motor and battery, but they still weigh a LOT more than any acoustic bike, so they still feel like an ebike.
You're too fast for the acoustic bikers, and too slow to keep up with other ebikers.
And there's no way to "derestrict" an SL and turn it into a full-power ebike.
I'm not trying to start a flame war -- I'm respectfully disagreeing based on my own experience.
...but taxes/delivery kill-it for me, @ close to $600.
